Sunday.


The Bishop's Palace at Ely, taken on Friday.

Yesterday drove to Glemham Hall and met up with friends Jon and Jo to see new antique fair. Antique fair very small (16 stallholders) but one or two good displays. Was well worth the trip to see the hall and look round the gardens, which were lovely. Then on to the Crown Inn at Great Glemham, where Jon treated us to lunch, which I thought was very good (top end of the pub grub market, anyway) but Jon thought too much potato in the fishcakes. Generally though, we all enjoyed the meal. Lovely sunny day. Drove home through the back lanes.

Standard Sunday today. Family service, followed by short communion. Home, changed into me scruff, then in workshop all afternoon and evening. Fixed mid eighteenth long case clock. Click spring caput on winding ratchet, made a new one as exact copy of bust one -brass. Also had to re-tension small clutch spring on fly, also brass, and sort out a few (potential) problems whilst clock was in bits- would have been silly not to- prevention better than cure. Finished the job ten minutes ago, cleaned up, and now ready for bed. Ann's just gone up so will join her. Goodnight all.

Is it there to let the smoke out do you think?
